    Could you show me the location of the monkeys and fruit bats in subic? I remember they're just along the road somewhere. Bata pa yata ako when I saw these.

    on the mountain road going to zoobic safari and ocean adventure. also the area around kamana sanctuary, although the troop there is a little too aggresive, nanghahabol pag nakita na may pagkain ka.

    And so, the monkeys are located in a place called upper cubi area, and fruits bats at the lower cubi area. You'll see these places using Google maps, yes it's near the subic airport.

    Andami signs na nakalagay not to feed the monkeys, pero goodness, may mga kababayan pa rin tayo na pinapakain sila. Tsk. What were they thinking. I saw 20+ monkeys there, iba iba size and mukhang may kanya kanya sila family, kase grupo grupo sila, then you'll notice na parang may alpha sa kanila.

    And for the bats, I never thought ganun sila kalaki, pag tingin mo sa puno, shet Kala ko dahon or bunga lang, hanging on the branches, sila na pala Yun. Andami per branch It felt very creepy.

    ^Afaik, yes, they do. But, they are far away on the tree branches. I would also keep away from monkeys. You just don't know what diseases they might carry once you're bitten.

    small buwayas are also known as butikis.

    who knows the origins of the "butiking pasay"?

    No offense to Pasay residents but my Tita uses this to describe a very poor person. I think this is because Pasay has a lot of slum areas. You know how people are perceived based on their address

    I last heard this from a pinoy cartoon series. The villain calls the hero butiking pasay, I don't know of its captain barbell or panday.

    OT: bats are also resident in one of the small island in 100 islands in Alaminos, Pangasinan. if you go island hopping, you can see them hanging on the trees. although its seasonal, there are months that they are not there...

    decades ago,
    coming from south of manila, the first sign of civilization that viajeros saw, was pasay city.
    back then, policemen wore khaki uniforms.
    mulcting policemen would hide behind the wooden brown meralco posts, waiting for their viajero victims, just like what the light brown butikis do, while waiting for their prey of small insects.
    of course, kuwentong barbero lang ito.

    dolphy and bodabil re-packaged the butiking pasay to mean a thin, weak-of-body-and-mind probinsyano.
    at that time, pidol also went by the screen name of Golay.
    payat, malambot, patay-patay. parang lantang pechay.

    Those monkeys, kahit sa Camayan hotel ang dami nila, pag naiwan mo room mo naka open pumapasok para kumuha ng pagkain, parang mga stray cats lang pero wild monkeys ito.
